If you want to join us, come on up. I'll PM everyone with my cell # a week or so in advance. Information on lodging, license, etc is post #1 on this thread or the other one marked September JAM in Catskills. If you need more info than what's listed, shoot me a PM.

How would you like if Alpa (for example) buys $400 worth of raffle tickets and wins EVERYTHING? I wouldn't like it. I'm not just saying that because he was voted most annoying on the forum either. I would like everyone to win something if possible. I won't need to win because I'll catch all of the fish and the biggest ones that weekend. :)

Quit being a loser.

If Alpa bought $400 worth of tickets and everyone else bought a single $5 ticket and he subsequently won everything . . .well . . . it's just freaking math. If you take people's entry out because they won, you are simply insuring you will sell one ticket per person and limit FUDR's potential donation. One prize per person applies to free drawings only imo.

That's a good pricing structure. Keeps Alpa from cornering the market.

In all seriousness, I agree that flat prize structures distribute prizes to more entrants thus ensuing greater participant satisfaction, however you can't penalize those who purchase a greater % of tickets. You want to raise as much $ as possible for FUDR, thus you have to leave tickets in the drawing. Either that, or you simply make it 1 ticket per person at $10 per ticket. That way no one doubles up and you raise $10 x n for FUDR.
